I don't know. I might be alone in this but I don't think the family did enough to help him. Wasn't there a party 3 weeks before he died or something? Why didn't they intervene then? & if they did try to stage an intervention years ago you don't only try once. You keep doing it. I mean if it's a family member whom you love nothing should be able to stop you. Like for example Britney Spears had plenty of enablers around her and her dad stepped up and got rid of those people and did what he had to do for her to get better. & if not the drugs, Michael needed mental help a long time ago. Why did he never get it? Why didn't they tell him not to get anymore plastic surgery or sleep in the bed with little boys? Michael needed help and a reality check and if his "friends" didn't care enough about him his family should have. You can't just investigate the people around him once he's dead. That doesn't bring him back. They should have done that while he was alive. Maybe he would still would be here if his situation hadn't been allowed to escalate like it had. It has just been a downward spiral. I'm surprised he lasted this long.
Welcome to this thread and forum PANCOSNIC,
I Dont think you are alone in feeling the way you do at all. It is a known fact that family and loved ones (after a myterious death especially) always have guilt and question themselves about whether or not they saw the signs and acted upon them accordingly. I can only image what the Jackson family maybe going through.
The people around him should be the very first to be Investigated, they were afterall the ones with the most access to him on a regular basis. They were the ones blocking and shutting out fans, family and God knows who elese. If anything, by investigating these people it can rule them out as suspects right away but we all know, they aint happening.
Murray is the fall guy in this murderous saga. I have no hope that the authoritiies will ever investigate anyone elese, though the key people are obvious to me.
Many fans have questioned that family dinner that Michael attended, its a legitimate question to ask. I think I read somewhere that Tito said he asked Michael if he was ok and MJ replied by saying "yes". I think Tito said he saw no signs of trouble then. Maybe as someone had said before; the family may have seen what they wanted to see.
Michael Jackson was around VERY DANGEROUS and SHADY people throughout his career not to mention in the past several months. I have absolutely no doubts, that even when in the few times he was having a very relaxed and human expierence "away" from the crooks with family or friends, he knew WHO HAD THE CONTROL and it wasn't him. It is possible, these individuals had Michael so controled and manipulated that he knew how to avoid certain questions and conversations with his family in order to keep them out of his business. I don't think he recognized the danger he was in until it was too late. With what the crooks around him were trying to gain, there is no way possible that THREATS FROM THEM AGAINST MJ or ANYONE who may have tried to help him WERE NOT FELT. This is no excuse, but there must have been fear on some level, I would think.
As for MJ recieving mental help. Its now coming out from more than one source that people wanted him to get this kind of help but in the recent months the crooks around him continued to push these shows instead of getting him the help he needed. All of the information has not come completely out. WE DON'T KNOW how many times the family tried to help or what all they had in mind if anything to do. Michael himself may have reached out for help to someone and we just dont have that information yet.
Its just a shame the last few months of his life was lived this way. He didn't deserve what was being done to him at the hands of his own handlers.
Just as in Sarah McLachlan's song, Angel where she sings:
